  • I would like to make a case for the Honda Civic SiR (EF series) chassis from 1989-1991 to finally be included in Gran Turismo, be it via an update to the current game or by inclusion in the next title released on the PS4.
  • While the CRX SiR has been included in previous installments, and is appreciated, I find it odd that the hatchback version has been overlooked all these years. Both chassis' were graced with the 1.6 liter B16A powerplant that revved all the way to 8,200 rpm and made a blistering 160 horsepower.
  • The cars not only look fantastic, but also performed well too. Lightweight, ample power, and limited slip differential, short ratio transmissions ensured they were not a small economy car to be trifled with.
  • Another reason why this car should be included, and done so with a "detailed" interior, is this: I see no reason why there need to be seven different S2000 models and only one CRX or other comparable vehicle. These cars are great performing automobiles that add variety to the game, allowing people the opportunity to perhaps drive their first car on a track.
  • With the advent of Forza Motorsports (probably a bad word on this site), all should be done in order to make the Gran Turismo series shine. Including some of the great performing, more obscure cars into the game would go a long way toward keeping your loyal fans.

I think this thread could use some better pictures of the SiR. Anyway yeah, I would love to see this place of the standard 1980s Civic that's in GT6 right now as this Civic is a better performer. Bring it on!

...That black car is great. I love it. But I think it's been modified somewhat...Tastefully of course.

It is modified, finding a good picture of a stock SiR is hard to come by, because like most Civics; the EFs are prone to being modified. So yeah, I tried the alternative and finding cleanish Civic SiR pictures instead. Though, I'll probably be able to find stock pictures eventually.
 
Pd, I don't want another slow & boring eco-friendly car like prius c or leaf...I want something like this civic...would be fun to be pushing this around the corners with its lightness in almost full throttle.

We already have a race car civic of that gen so why not a road one too?
